Description
There is something fitting about a .240 Weatherby Magnum riding in a rifle this light. Roy Weatherby's screaming 6mm pushes an 80 grain bullet around 3,500 fps, which means a flat trajectory and plenty of authority on deer and antelope without punishing recoil. Drop that cartridge into the Alpine CT, a carbon barrel and carbon stock build that tips the scales right around six pounds, and you have a setup made for hunters who count ounces on the way up the mountain but still want reach when a buck steps out across the canyon.
Inside the Model 307 Alpine CT
The heart of this rifle is Weatherby's Model 307 action, a two-lug, fully cylindrical design named for the Sheridan, Wyoming area code where every one of these is built. It runs an M16-style extractor for positive ejection, breaks down without tools for easy cleaning, and accepts a wide range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, and mounts. Weatherby pairs it with an externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger and a Peak 44 Picatinny rail from the factory, so you can bolt on a scope and head to the range the day it comes home. The two-position safety keeps things simple, and the hinged setup feeds 4+1 in this chambering.
Carbon Where It Counts
The 22 inch BSF barrel starts as 416R stainless steel, then gets sleeved in carbon fiber and loaded under tension, which keeps weight down and helps the barrel cool quickly between shots. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears Weatherby's Accubrake DST, a directional self-timing brake that takes real sting out of recoil and muzzle rise. Up front and back, the metalwork is protected in Chocolate Brown and Graphite Black Cerakote.
A Stock Built for the Backcountry
The Peak 44 Bastion is a hand-painted, 24-ounce carbon fiber stock with a vertical grip, ambidextrous palm swell, and a 3D-Hex recoil pad that soaks up what the brake does not. Dual sling studs on the forend give you room for a bipod and sling together. Add exposed carbon with WYO brown accents, and this rifle looks as good as it carries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT come ready for a scope?
Yes. It ships with a Peak 44 Picatinny rail already mounted, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws. Just add rings and glass and you are ready to zero. No iron sights are included, so plan on an optic from day one.
How heavy is the Alpine CT in .240 Weatherby, and is it good for backcountry hunts?
The rifle runs right around six pounds bare thanks to the BSF carbon fiber barrel and the 24-ounce Peak 44 Bastion stock. That makes it one of the lighter production carbon rifles out there, and it is exactly the kind of gun you want when you are covering miles at elevation. The .240 Weatherby's mild recoil makes it even easier to shoot well from field positions.
What is the .240 Weatherby Magnum best suited for?
It is a fast 6mm that drives an 80 grain bullet around 3,500 fps, noticeably quicker than standard 6mm cartridges. That speed means a flat trajectory and solid downrange energy, making it a great pick for deer, antelope, and predators at longer distances. Recoil stays gentle, especially with the Accubrake DST installed.
Can I remove the muzzle brake on the 307 Alpine CT?
You can. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so the Accubrake DST spins off if you prefer to run the rifle without it or want to swap in a different muzzle device. Keep in mind the brake adds about two inches to overall length and does a nice job taming muzzle rise, so many owners leave it in place.
